Beautiful books that are more than just pages and covers, these handcrafted items are perfect for journaling, sketching, or as unique gifts for loved ones.
This workshop is one of my favourites 💖 I can't believe I made this beautiful box from start to finish (although there's no way I'd have been able to do it without Amanda, she's amazing) She even thought us how to cut down the metal on the knob to fit the box. I'd highly recommend this workshop 😍❤️

Brilliant workshop!
This lampshade workshop was brilliant and something I’d always wanted to do. Amanda made the whole process easy to follow and she was very patient. The materials were excellent. There were also plenty of options for personalising my lampshade, even though I decided not to as the Japanese papers were so beautiful. I love how the light shines through it. It was a rewarding and enjoyable experience, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone to give it a try, we'll worth it😍

Chain stitch workshop with closure / with pockets
Really enjoyed these two half-day workshops with Amanda. She brought beautiful papers and tools to work with, and everything was so well organised and clearly explained. A great atmosphere in the class - everyone was friendly and relaxed. Would recommend to anyone who'd like to try bookbinding or to brush up their skills, Amanda is a wonderful instructor.

Workshops
I recently attended 2 half day bookbinding workshops with Amanda from Squushed and it exceeded all my expectations. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the craft, which made it a great class.
The materials provided were of high quality, and the step-by-step guidance ensured that even beginners like myself could create beautiful, handmade books.
By the end of the workshops, I walked away with a sense of accomplishment and a newfound love for bookbinding and my 2 new books🥰❤️
These workshops are perfect for anyone interested in learning a new skill or diving deeper into the art of bookbinding. I'd highly recommend it!

Fantastic workshop
I recently attended a Coptic book binding workshop, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The workshop was incredibly well-organized and informative.
The instructor was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about the art of Coptic binding.
The materials provided were of high quality, ensuring that our finished products were both beautiful and durable. We were given a variety of cover papers, threads, and tools to work with, allowing for a lot of creative freedom.
We even got to make a little pamphlet stitch notebook. It was a pleasure to connect with fellow participants and admire each other's work.
I highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in bookbinding or looking to try something new and creative.
Thank you Amanda from Squushed for a fantastic day ❤️
